Product details
Overview
HS3BB M4G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 100 V, 3 A surface-mount high-efficiency rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 1.0 V forward voltage at 3 A and 50 ns reverse recovery time, widely used in switching mode power supplies and AC/DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the HS3BB M4G datasheet, HS3BB M4G pinout, HS3BB M4G application, or HS3BB M4G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (100 V), surge current rating (100 A), thermal resistance (60 °C/W), junction temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial and consumer power designs.
Technical Context
This single-die standard recovery rectifier operates with glass-passivated junction technology, enabling stable performance under repeated surge conditions and elevated junction temperatures up to 150 °C. Its low-profile SMB package supports automated placement and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
The device delivers fast switching behavior via 50 ns reverse recovery time and low 1.0 V forward voltage drop at rated 3 A DC current, reducing conduction losses in high-frequency SMPS topologies. Junction capacitance is 80 pF at 4 V reverse bias, supporting predictable high-speed turn-off characteristics.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-efficiency rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR310 | Same 100 V VRRM and 3 A IF, but VF = 0.87 V typ (lower), trr = 50 ns, DO-214AC (SMA) package | SMA package has smaller footprint and lower thermal mass; less suitable for high-thermal-load 3 A continuous use | Select MUR310 only if board space is constrained and thermal derating allows SMA's lower copper area |
| Vishay VS-3EWH10-M3 | 100 V VRRM, 3 A IF, VF = 0.95 V typ, trr = 35 ns, DO-214AA (SMB) package, AEC-Q101 qualified | AEC-Q101 qualification adds cost and test overhead; unnecessary for commercial-grade monitors/adapters | Choose VS-3EWH10-M3 only for automotive-infotainment power modules requiring automotive qualification |
Compared with MUR310 and VS-3EWH10-M3, HS3BB M4G offers optimal balance of SMB package compatibility, 1.0 V VF, 50 ns trr, and cost-effective industrial qualification-making it ideal for mainstream consumer power supplies where automotive or ultra-low-VF specs are not required.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HS3BB M4G?
The HS3BB M4G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150 °C and a minimum of −55 °C, allowing reliable operation in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. This rating is validated per JEDEC test conditions and supports thermal design margins when used with appropriate PCB copper area and airflow. The HS3BB M4G must be operated within this range to maintain specified electrical parameters and long-term reliability.
Does HS3BB M4G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, HS3BB M4G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound and plating materials are certified to meet these environmental standards, making HS3BB M4G suitable for export to EU, China, and other regulated markets. Compliance documentation is available upon request from Taiwan Semiconductor and verified through Aetrix Electronics' traceable sourcing process.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for HS3BB M4G?
The reverse recovery time (trr) for HS3BB M4G is 50 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version L2102) and applies across the full operating temperature range. The 50 ns trr enables efficient performance in high-frequency SMPS designs up to 500 kHz without excessive switching loss or ringing.
Is HS3BB M4G pin-compatible with other devices in the HS3x family?
Yes, all HS3x devices-including HS3AB, HS3BB, HS3DB, up to HS3MB-share identical DO-214AA (SMB) package dimensions, pinout, and terminal configuration. The only differences are VRRM ratings and associated electrical parameters (e.g., VF, trr, CJ). Therefore, HS3BB M4G can be substituted within the same footprint for 100 V applications without PCB changes, provided thermal and electrical design margins remain valid.
What packaging format is available for HS3BB M4G?
HS3BB M4G is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging with 3,000 units per reel, optimized for automated SMT assembly. The reel meets EIA-481 standards and includes moisture barrier bagging compliant with J-STD-020 Level 1. Each unit is marked with "HS3BB" and date code per Taiwan Semiconductor's marking diagram, ensuring full traceability and counterfeit mitigation.
